01)
W: I'm regurgitating my own blood...
W: My vision is fading...
W: My ears feel to numb, I can't hear anything anymore...
W: The taste of metal is flooding my mouth...the smell of gunsmoke is filling my nose...
W: My body...
W: I can't even tell if I'm alive or dead anymore.
W: I can't feel...anything...

#1. DELUSION

03)
C: ...hou.
C: I'm honestly surprised.
C: I never knew you had this much strength...
V: The true weakling is you, Wolfwood..
V: Despite all your potential...
V: You're still too quick to give up.
W: Why couldn't you just mind your own business, dumbass!!

04)
C: Protecting something until you're beaten to a pulp fits your selfish ways, but...
C: ...hasn't it ever once occured to you that it's pointless now?
C: In just a few more days, the world as we know it is going to end.
C: Or...could it be...you're actually so foolish to believe that that man could defeat Knives?!
W: ...who knows.
W: But I'm sure he'll go for it anyway.
W: Whether it's a sure thing or completely hopeless...no one can predict that but those two.

05)
C: ....ha!!
C: So you are truly clinging onto dreams, Wolfwood!!
C: In this day and age, no less...!
W: I'm doing it BECAUSE it's this day and age.
W: Because otherwise that idiot'd be lonely by himself.
W: He's so easy so read, so foolishly honest...
W: That I feel like he's someone I can trust with my life.

06)
W: Does that scare you?
W: The thought of a man...who won't turn his back on anyone?

07)
W: Ehh...I guess it doesn't really matter.
W: After all, rather than stay with him and help him out...
W: I decided to come here and tie up my 'loose ends.'
C: You aren't going to tie anything up.
C: In fact, it's the opposite...
C: For now, finally...I shall have my retribution!!

08)
C: This is the chance I've been waiting for.
C: It's just you and me now...and there is no way for you to escape from my grasp.

09)
R: ...Master "C."
R: Aren't you getting a little ahead of yourself, there, pal?
R: This guy isn't how I imagined he would be.
R: There's such a "Die Hard" feeling emanating from him, yet I feel I haven't seen all he has to offer.
R: After all...Livio's taught me SO much about him.
R: That's why, I think...
R: We should try to squeeze as much fun out of him as we can....!!

11)
C: Pointless.
C: This boy is already at his limit.
wolfwood sfx: Gah....geh...argh...
R: How many ya got left?
R: Tch....three rounds, huh...
SFX: Jyakki-

12)
SFX: Guahhhh
C: I can't believe he wasted three full rounds...
C: Looks like he didn't really plan on dying after all...and yet now, after a couple more shots, he'll finally be embracing the darkness.
R: But then, in that case--
C: ...you think you can win against him?
C: Don't take this bastard lightly.

13)
C: It's true that he couldn't block your first onslaught at all.
C: But gradually, as you continued attacking...he became accustomed to your patterns. As I expected, you failed to notice this.
C: If you had launched a fourth attack on him, he would finished his examination of your weakpoint and you would have been caught within his trap.
C: In other words...
C: Failing to kill him now would be a fatal mistake.

14)
C: Now...
C: Let's finish this.

15)
W: UWARGHHHHHHH!! (if you can think of a grosser scream, put it in.)

16)
C: HOW'S THIS?!
C: THIS PAIN...
C: THIS SUFFERING?!
C: AFTER A LITTLE MORE, YOU SHALL BE COMPLETELY ANNIHILATED!!
C: AND THEN...
C: AND THEN YOU WILL DESCEND INTO HELL, NICHOLAS!
C (bottom right): IN ORDER TO ERASE ANY PROOF OF YOUR EXISTENCE ON THIS PLANET...
C: I WILL MASSACRE EVERY SINGLE PERSON WHO IS IMPORTANT TO YOU!!
C: THIS IS IT, NICHOLAS...
C: THIS...IS MY DIVINE RETRIBUTION!!
